FAKE weaknesses and red flags
Can overuse one default coping style

Social style
FAKE usually does not disappear in social settings. People either find the type easy to read or oddly difficult to manage, but rarely forget it.
Love style
FAKE brings its habits directly into relationships. When healthy, that feels distinctive and honest. When unhealthy, it can feel like one coping style trying to run the whole relationship.
Work style
FAKE tends to work in a recognizable rhythm. The upside is clarity. The risk is pushing personal preference harder than the team can absorb.
